Summary: A Purr-fectly Dreadful Cartoon
Review: I remember enjoying this movie as a child, but, after viewing it some 30 years later as an adult, I wonder why it ever appealed to me. The animation is second rate, at best - cheaply drawn, with static backgrounds. (The one touch of inspiration was to paint the backgrounds in the styles of the great impressionist painters.) The music, though written by two of this century's greatest songwriters, is entirely forgettable. The story is extremely weak and entirely devoid of any charm or wit. The movie appears to have been produced for the price of a song - and not a very good song, at that. The movie's one redeeming quality is the impressive vocal talent behind it. This cartoon is best suited for young children. Anyone over the age of 9 will be bored with it. When there are so many wonderful family films from which to choose, both animated and live-action, why waste your time watching this one?

Summary: Must for Garland fans
Review: If you've seen every Judy movie but have shied away from this one because Judy doesn't even appear onscreen in it..well you're in for a sueprise!
Judy as Mewsette is so enchanting, so hysterically funny, so French and so feline! There are sad moments, happy moments..but trust me this is an exceptional effort (especially if you love gorgeou animation) and one worth having in your collection.Here's my original rave review... Gay Purr-ee is meowriffic!!!! I love it!!! The animation is gorgeous, striking and technically brilliant, Walt Disney eat your heart out. I particularly love the visuals with the different artists of the 'gay 90's' in France...Cezanne, Toulouse Lautrec, Seurat, Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, etc. Very 'American in Paris', feline style. Judy's voice is purrfect. As Mewsette, she's very French, very provincial with a touch of Parisian breathlessness, when she sings it's achingly beautiful. Janune Tom is a honey. And the Money cat is the villain..the scene where the villain is mean is classic. Judy really put on the hysterics. Funny bits..when she tries to walk with a bowl of milk on her head. And fails. Touches of Gigi.
the buggy ride. 'What's kissing?' 'erm, it's like touching noses' how true.
Chanpagne, Champignons and Champs Elysees. Bad American French. What'll you'll have? Milk? No make it Cream! How about...bubbles? And the cats actually get drunk. Am I the only one who appreciates this film??? Put Gay Purree up there with Wizard of Oz on the shelf. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Tiresome Hack Work
Review: It's been years since I watched this thing....for a reason. When I learned that it was coming out on DVD I dug out my VHS copy and had a look, but couldn't make it all the way through. Disney's animation supremacy lasted so long because of films like this; cloying, cutesy-poo Disney knock-offs. I don't know anything about the production history of this turkey, but it reeks of a cold eyed attempt to cash in on the Disney market and a total absence of real enthusiasm. The songs are distinctly third rate, the voice acting is sub-Flintstones standard, and Chuck Jones' art is some of his least inspired.
The whole film is shoddy, trivial, and annoying. It might entertain small children for whom Pokemon is too sophisticated, and I suppose that Garland fanatics will want a copy. As for everyone else: If you want to watch a musical, see The Music Man or Gigi. If you want first rate animation buy Spirited Away.

Summary: So sweet!
Review: My wife saw this cartoon when she was a little girl back in the '60 and on a B/W TV. She has been talking about it for all these years and wanting to see it again. And now it is here on DVD. And I must admit: This is a sweet cartoon. I especially like the sequence where Suzette is painted in many different styles (impressionistic and so on). And my wife is happy!

Review: Rare and hard to find nowadays, this was and still is one of my favorite childrens' movies of all time. Sweet story, great vocals, cute characters and Chuck Jones. Couldn't be better! I love the images of France as well.

Summary: THe worst cartoon movie I've ever seen!
Review: The animation is cheap,there is no plot and the songs are awful!I don't know how ANYONE can stand this irritating movie for more than one second!Also,2 cats get drunk in this movie,which is totally inappropriate and unacceptable for a childrens' film.It gives the message that it's okay to get drunk.The whole drunk sequence contributes to underage drinking.Another gripe is that Mewsette is stereotype as a typical,helpless female who has to get rescued from the bad guy by a male.Goulet and Garland wasted their talents in this pointless movie,and Chuck Jones wasted his time and money making it.With great cartoons like Bugs Bunny,the Grinch and Wile E Coyote,it makes you wonder why on Earth Chuck threw together this crappy film.Don't waste your money on "Gay-Purree"-buy"the Grinch'insted.

Summary: A great movie by Chuck Jones
Review: This movie was one of my most favorite movies to watch as a child. Once it came out on DVD I snatched it right up. I promise that you won't be disappointed with this wonderful film. It is a lot different from standard run of the mill animation, which makes the movie trully wonderful. You and your kids will love it.

Summary: I absolutely love this movie!
Review: This was my favorite animated movie as a child. I was transfixed when I saw it at the age of six and still am (too many years later). The colors are beautiful, and one would be hard-pressed to find a little girl who doesn't fall in love with Mewsette. As far as I'm concerned, that is the ONLY name for a fluffy white feline. And Jean-Tom is a real boy's cat, too. I found a copy which my three girls, ages 10, 7, and 3 are all equally in love with. And it also gives a very amusing yet informative mini art lesson.

Review: When I was a kid, my mom used to hide this movie from me because I watched so much that she was sick of it. I loved it! Years later, I saw it again, and it was as great as I remembered. The purr-fect film for children!
